FAQ
Is this dish vegan?
Yes, it uses plant-based ingredients only.
What allergens are in this recipe?
It contains soy and sesame; miso can contain gluten—check the labels.
How can I make it gluten-free?
Use gluten-free miso and tamari instead of soy sauce.
Can I substitute tofu with chickpeas or tempeh?
Yes, but texture and cooking time will differ.
How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate in an airtight container for 3–4 days and reheat gently.
How do I scale this for more servings?
Multiply the ingredients; cooking time is usually similar; you may need a larger pan.
What sides pair well for fiber variety?
Serve with a fiber-rich side like brown rice, quinoa, roasted vegetables, or a bean salad.
